So I was just informed that the Medici series I have been recommending on Amazon (for tarot history) is FREE on Youtube (legally too!). Here are the four volumes, but the first two coincide with the birth and explosive popularity of the tarot in Italy. Also, the Medicis were totally cool. See if you can count how many of the world’s most famous artists YOU have heard of that they personally groomed, trained, and sponsored.

Thank you so much Dusty, for posting this fascinating series, I’ve seen some of this before. I’m so happy to be able to see it all here. Last night I stayed up much too late and watched the first two parts.

The Medici’s family and their dedication to developing artists is fantastic. There were so many geniuses in one place it’s beyond belief, the sheer vision and thought put into these amazing creations of every kind. No wonder so many extremely talented people went a bit crazy, their poor heads were so full of ideas it must have been frustrating to try and express themselves to people that could never hope to understand them, except for the Medici family very unique people and shrewd in business.
